LOS ANGELES — Rebecca Friedrichs, the public-school teacher who fought all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to end forced unionism, will address the 10th Annual American Federation for Children National Policy Summit. U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is also slated to speak to the gathering of policymakers, educational choice advocates and leading business and media figures.

She is a 28-year veteran public school teacher whose fight against the politics, corruption, division and intimidation tactics of state and national teachers unions resulted in a landmark lawsuit against the California Teachers Association and the National Education Association that was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court. Her case paved the way for a precedent-setting ruling which freed all public sector employees from forced unionism.
